Uncertainty Theories and Multisensor Data Fusion

Addressing recent challenges and developments in this growing field, <i>Multisensor Data Fusion Uncertainty Theory</i> first discusses basic questions such as: Why and when is multiple sensor fusion necessary? How can the available measurements be characterized in such a case? What is the purpose and the specificity of information fusion processing in multiple sensor systems? Considering the different uncertainty formalisms, a set of coherent operators corresponding to the different steps of a complete fusion process is then developed, in order to meet the requirements identified in the first part of the book.
